Two high-profile religious issues briefly appeared to nullify each other Thursday as a Florida pastor announced he would cancel a planned Quran burning on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks — as long as a planned mosque and Islamic center was moved away from Ground Zero in New York or scrapped.

However, the imam and developer associated with the New York project denied reports that a deal was reached to move.

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf issued a statement through his publicist saying earlier reports were false, and there had been no negotiations of the sort.

Jones, speaking to reporters again later in the afternoon, was adamant that he was promised that the Islamic center would be moved, and said he would be “very, very disappointed” if that didn’t happen.

Sharif El Gamal, the New York developer behind the Park 51 project in lower Manhattan, told the NewsHour late Thursday: “We are not moving.”

Asked about a meeting with Imam Feisal and the Florida pastor, he said: “I talk to the these people every day. It’s my building. I own it. I know nothing of a meeting.”

The Rev. Terry Jones, who leads a small congregation that espouses anti-Islam philosophy, announced at a news conference Thursday that he decided to cancel the extremely controversial burning of Islam’s holiest text — a pledge that drew strong rebuke worldwide, most notably from President Obama.

If our own military burns Bibles, then why can’t civilians burn Qurans? http://ow.ly/2AQlw

Did the U.S. Army burn Bibles on a U.S. Military Base? Why yes, yes they did! Was it during the current administration? Why yes, yes it was!Reference:Reuters “U.S. military says Afghan bibles have been destroyed”My point… If any amount or any type of religious literature was delivered to this or any base or ship, then it easily could have been transported off the base or ship, not burned with, or as, garbage.

MN Group Will Try To Educate Fair-Goers On Muslim Religion
Submitted by Scott Theisen on Tuesday, August 24th, 8:19 pm

The Great Minnesota Get-Together could be educational for thousands of fair-goers even before they walk through the gates.

A Minnesota group will try to educate fair-goers about the Muslim religion.

Volunteers with the Islamic Circle of North America say they will hand out cards titled “Islam Explained” because they want people to know what it means to be Muslim. While the group doesn’t have a licensed booth space to operate on the fairgrounds, it can still take advantage of the crowds. The group will be stationed outside gates 10 and 20.

The group says the outreach effort in Minnesota has nothing to do with the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero in Manhattan, which has caused national controversy.

St. Paul police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the volunteers can hand out literature on the sidewalks as long as they don’t block the sidewalks.

The group also has radio ads that will start airing Monday. Those ads will include a number people can call to ask questions about Islam.

No Separation of Church and State… FAIR?

But then we have “The Spineless Diatribe of Petraeus in Kabul”My point… Petraeus you are in charge of a war zone, are the soldiers in harm’s way now or not? If the little church in Florida doesn’t burn the Qurans will the Taliban pack up and call their mission done?

I support any Pastor, with his own flock, at his own church, in his own parking lot burning his own personal property as it is his right to do so!

Reverend Michel Faulkner, who is running for New York’s congressional district 15th, tells David Diaz about his ministry work, and how he would implement that experience if he were to work in Congress.

An update on Michel Faulkner – It looks like he’s may be running unopposed if New Yorkers have their say and way. Due to the ugly situation that Rep. Charlie Rangel now finds himself totally immersed, Mr. Rangel doesn’t appear to have a prayer’s chance (Sorry Michel, it is too appropriate!) of re-election. Michel has had quite a full career with a heavy hand and real work ethics as outlined in the video above, detailed elsewhere, and on his site http://www.faulknerforcongress.com/

Read here why Michel Faulkner dedicated his life to the people of Harlem by running for Congress!

For the past 22 years, I have dedicated my life to serving my community as a New York City pastor and spiritual leader. I have counseled the suffering, married couples, helped the grieving, fed the hungry and have acted as a liaison between my community and the government. This week, I took what I believe to be the next logical step in that commitment — by announcing my candidacy to become the next member to the United States House of Representatives for the 15th Congressional District.

The system in Washington, DC, is broken at a time of enormous challenges and we need real-life solutions. Solutions that are based on the community’s input and welfare, not a federal government takeover. As I speak with the people of Northern Manhattan, it is clear that they have become apathetic about democracy. When people don’t trust democracy, they don’t vote — placing political leadership in the hands of those who use political power for their personal gain.

Three surprising things you probably didn’t know about Islam.
This subject WILL affect you in the near future, so take the chance to inform yourself now – before it does.

Islam and the US Constitution close acceptance, but not fully embraced, because the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land and not based on Islam, but Christian principles. It’s either all or nothing. You can’t accept those parts that you like and edit them to suit your needs like the Quran. (Just because the current administration in Washington, DC does, hmm?)

[Press TV News] Islamophobia Rising: US Church Calls For Quran Burning On 9/11

Every other group of people came to the United States of America to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and leave the trappings of their former homelands behind. They did not endeavor to recreate the atmosphere they escaped from, nor to create a second base of operations for same. Why should one group of people inflict their way of life upon an entire free nation?

May 24th, 2010

My Fellow Americans,

On Tuesday, 18 May 2010 in The ATLAH Court room under the sanction of the US Constitution “We The People spoke.” Mr. Obama , Michael Sovern, and the Trustees of Columbia University were found guilty on all 17 counts of Sedition, Conspiracy, Fraud, and Obstruction of Justice.

I am assembling a coalition to hand the verdicts to The Judiciary of The US Senate, The US Congress, The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, and The US Attorney General.

Specifically for Michael Sovern and Columbia University, I will be submitting to The New York State Bar, The New York State Attorney General, New York State Regents, and The Mid-Atlantic Schools Accreditation demanding their license to operate an educational institution be revoked.

Perhaps their first response will be to defend and reject. Thereupon, will begin the most exciting part of this guilty victory. Inasmuch, as we will proceed to court testing the constitutionality of the 10th Amendment established by our Founding Fathers.

I expect the courts to be careful in their decision not to injure the rights of “We The People.”

Thank you for your support, I will post and update on You Tube within 24 hours and will take a few weeks rest from the daily Manning Report.
